Analysis of S
One letter that follows,
if added will deem
To separate the real
from what’s referenced or schemed
“Honor from honors,
Love from loves
“Truth from truth’s,
and Self from selves
“God from gods,
Time from times
“Vision from visions,
and Life from lives”
The singular, the plural
what is, what is not
One small trailing letter
—true meaning leaves off
